MONROE – Edward C. Webb, son of Oliver and Catherine Webb, was born March 1, 1858, at Roseville, Ill., and died March 6, at the age of 79 years and five days.
When 12 years old he came with his parents to a farm near Prairie City, Ia. This was his home until about 20 years ago.
He was married Feb. 26, 1880 to Sarah Florence Sarchet, also of Prairie City. To this union nine children were born. Two of them preceded their father in death; Laura Alta, at the age of eight months and Edna Mae Elrod at the age of 34 years.
In 1912 Mr. Webb united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Pleasant Hill. He was a faithful worker in the church until he became physically unable to take an active part.
Mr. and Mrs. Webb left the farm and moved to Monroe in 1921, and since that time Monroe had been their home.
He is survived by his wife, 31 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and the children Claude O., of Maxwell, Ia., Verna Romick and Zola Neely of Monroe; Mrs. Rae Ballard of Des Moines; Gladyce Holy, of Columbus, O., Mrs. Marie Cole of Newton, and Mrs. Dean Buckingham of Prairie City.
